Day #17 It’s okay to admit that life gets hard sometimes.- #28daysofselflove

 It’s okay to admit that life gets hard sometimes.

Life has been unusually hard lately. 2020. Covid. Quarantine. Death. Sickness. Loss. Grief. Instability. It’s been hard.


And I am not the type of person to shy away from hard. I’m kinda use to hard. In all honesty I kinda like hard because when things get hard I go harder. But this has been different. It’s a different type of hard these days.

At times I feel engulfed in fear of the instability of life. All of my roots have been uplifted and I really don’t have the pillars that held everything up before. Things that made sense are now confusing and I question the things that I was so sure about before.

In the past when things got hard it would be hard to wait it out and see how the end would be. I would get impatient and often fall short. But in the end it would still all work out. And I would regret not holding out just a little while longer.

These days it’s harder to see things through because I feel the weight of of everything all the time.

And I usually end up with some pretty amazing results when I don’t crumble under the fear of the unknown.

When Jokes Cross the Line - What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal

When Jokes Cross the Line What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal Phatabulous Magazine Staff Growing up, I was always the fat one. There were other girls with my name, but I was always described as “the short fat one.” I hated it. I never got so used to it that I was okay with it, I just learned not to lash out every time. Most of the time, I let it go because I realized people weren’t trying to get a rise out of me. Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they didn’t care. But the truth is, it always hurt. That’s why when Cardi B, one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, made recent comments that many found fatphobic, it struck a nerve.
